LAHORE: An accountability court will resume hearing of the Ramzan Sugar Mills case against Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz on Monday (today).
According to details, the accountability judge has already issued notices to the PML-N leaders in connection with the hearing scheduled today.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a reference against Shehbaz and his son and naming them as the primary accused in the scam.
NAB officials said Shehbaz, being chief minister of Punjab, misused his authority by issuing directives for the construction of a 10 kilometer long drain in Chiniot district primarily to benefit the sugar mills his son owned.
Shehbaz and Hamza have been accused of fraudulently causing a Rs213 million loss to the national exchequer.
Earlier on Feb 18, an accountability court indicted Shehbaz Sharif and other accused in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing scandal. However, they pleaded not guilty and opted to contest the charges against them.
It is pertinent to mention here that Shehbaz Sharif was granted bail last month in Ashiana Housing and Ramzan Sugar mills scandals by the Lahore High Court (LHC).
